Alternate stick-on mounting plate for SMH10?

It would be nice if it were possible to mount the SMH10 on a helmet in such a way that it didn't hang down below the bottom edge of the helmet.  I sometimes like to use a Leatt brace, especially when riding offroad, but the SMH10 hangs too far down and interferes with the brace.  Some other bluetooth headsets provide a mounting option that doesn't use a clamp and instead sticks to the helmet above the lower edge, thereby not interfering.  The SMH10 has tape to stick it on instead of using the clamp, but the lip on the base requires that it still be positioned along the lower edge.  I can see why this would be required when using the boom mic, but for the kit that uses the wired mic this shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for a great product!

  I would like to see this option as well. I have a tendency to hit the jog button with my jacket when turning my head. Usually it just adjusts the volume, but it will occasionally push the button and disconnect me from the intercom when riding in a group. Being able to mount the unit higher on the helmet would be really nice.

  I would have thought that this would have been looked at for the 20S as it is an annoying thing. It would be nice to be able to sit the helmet flat without worrying about the helmet sitting on the bluetooth mount and having to worry about damaging the mount. Also there is a tendency to hit the dial with your jacket as mentioned and this can be frustrating. It should be able to be mounted further up the helmet so that the bluetooth does not hang below the helmet edge, especially when it can be stuck on with double sided tape.

  Yes, I was pretty disappointed to see that the design of the 20S with respect to how it mounts to the helmet is unchanged from the SMH10.
